Well, my subs have dual 2-ohm voice coils...and the way you indicated the connections are correct...so that would mean that I am wired at 4-ohms? If yes, would it be better for me if i were to wire it at 2-ohms (I have a tantrum 1200.1 amp)?...also, if a picture of the connections on the amp side would help, I can get a picture of it...thanks man..

with them being 2 ohm coils, if they're wired with both + wires together and both - wires together on the amp, then you're at 2 ohms total which is correct. you don't see many 2 ohm speakers.

I doubt that whole piece is a sub enclosure. More like a cover that attaches on front of the box to make it look cleaner and not see a mess of wires and amps.

I'm positive it is impossible to wire two DVC 2-ohm subs at 4ohms. You have a choice between 8ohms, 2ohms, and .5ohms. .5ohms will blow up your amp, so avoid that one. So your choice is between 8 ohms and 2ohms, i'd recommend two.

Wire it like this (the way electric130 stated):

Here's my setup. Sorry for the crappy quality. They're pics from my cell phone so they came out kinda blurry. I'm running 2 audiobahn awt12se subs and 1 1000W nitro amp with a 2 farad capacitor. Here's my pix...

sweet setup. try to get clearer pics if you can. the original pics probably show up because they're on your sprint pcs account and you're probably still logged in on your computer. at any rate, the photobucket ones show up.
